A neutral atom of neon has 10 electrons and an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6. How will it ionize to satisfy the octet ru

le?
A.It will lose 6 electrons from the 2nd energy level to have a valence configuration of 1s2 2s2.
B.It will lose 8 electrons from the 2nd energy level to have a valence configuration of 1s2.
C.It will gain 8 electrons in a 3rd energy level to have a valence configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.
D.It will not ionize; it already has an octet of electrons in its valence shell.

Identify the single displacement reaction.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer : The correct option is, (D)

Explanation :

Option A reaction : C_4H_{12}+7O_2\rightarrow 6H_2O+4CO_2

It is a combustion reaction. A reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

Option B reaction : 2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

It is a combination reaction. A reaction in which the two or more reactants react to give a product.

Option C reaction : Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S

It is a decomposition reaction. A reaction in which a reactant decomposes to form two or more products.

Option D reaction : Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

It is a single displacement reaction. It is a reaction in which the more reactive element displace the less reactive element.  In this reaction, most reactive element chlorine displaces the less reactive element bromine.

Hence, the correct option is, (D)

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

      C₂H₆O₂ Consist of  Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                         2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H : O

                         2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
